IBM quotes 2:1 compression for open systems and 3:1 for EBCDIC systems. Compressed capacity above assumes 3:1 compressions. The J1A drive only reads and writes J1A format. The E05 TS1120 drive reads and writes E05 and J1A formats. The E06 TS1130 drive reads and writes E06 and E05, and reads J1A format.   Please note: Although this cartridge looks very similar to a 3590, the tape inside is vastly different and the tapes cannot be read by a 3590 drive.   See 3590 media for 3590 tapes.
